\t\t\t\tCobra Golf reveal King LTDx family, including drivers with variable face thickness for exceptional ball speed.<\/p>\n

Cobra\u2019s new family of golf clubs saw the brand ask real-world golfers what they wanted from the models. Unsurprisingly, the top three consumer desires from the drivers were more distance, more accuracy and better forgiveness.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

So Cobra\u2019s designers turned the clock back to 2016 and the brand\u2019s King LTD driver<\/a> \u2013 the first big stick to achieve zero CGna (getting the Centre of Gravity below the Neutral Axis) for low spin and fast ball speed performance.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to the present day and the King LTD legacy has evolved (substantially) into the King LTDx range, which includes the first golf driver to combine zero CGna and 5,200 MOI. What does that mean for you and I? The dream combo of faster ball speeds with extreme forgiveness.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The LTDx woods feature PWR-COR Technology, which uses multi-material internal and external weights to reposition as much weight low and forward as possible to lower spin and deliver powerful ball speed upon impact.<\/p>\n

Using machine learning and CNC machining, Cobra\u2019s engineers have replaced the E9 face with a new variable thickness H.O.T Face (Highly Optimized Topology) that is precision tuned for speed.<\/p>\n

Using data from thousands of impact simulations, Cobra have optimised thicknesses in 15 different zones to maximize ball speed across a larger area of the face. These zones create visual peaks and valleys that resemble a topology map, hence the design name.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

In addition, the LTDx drivers utilize a multi-material construction, with up to 30% more carbon fibre than the previous RadSpeed driver models<\/a>, and a lighter and stronger titanium chassis to maximise stability.<\/p>\n

Cobra\u2019s engineers have redesigned the previous T-Bar chassis, moving more titanium lower to the ground and around the perimeter edge to lower CG and increase MOI, resulting in eight grams of weight savings.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe LTDx driver lineup reflects our team\u2019s continued dedication to innovation and improved performance,\u201d said Tom Olsavsky, Vice President of R&D for Cobra Golf.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the introduction of PWR-COR and H.O.T FACE technology, our engineers have, yet again, developed innovation that improves CG and MOI while making the face hotter and more forgiving.<\/p>\n

\"Cobra's<\/p>\n

\u201cThe resulting LTDx family of drivers are the best we have ever produced, and the three distinct driver models ensure that every golfer can achieve optimised performance for their game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a closer look at the full King LTDx family, starting with the drivers.<\/p>\n

\"TheCobra Golf King LTDx Drivers<\/p>\n

To ensure the new driver\u2019s performance can be optimised for all types of player, it\u2019s available in three distinct models \u2013 the low-spinning\u00a0LTDx LS, the uber-stable and draw-biased\u00a0LTDx MAX, and the\u00a0LTDx, which blends the LS and Max into one driver for low spin and max forgiveness.<\/p>\n

The new LTDx LS driver positions most of its weight low and forward to deliver low spin and faster ball speeds. The result is a more workable ball flight desired by lower handicap golfers with faster swing speeds.<\/p>\n

An adjustable weight system features a 10g and 3g weight that can be exchanged to either the front heel or toe to fine tune trajectory. A traditional 460cc shape features an aggressive aerodynamic design that allows players with faster swing speeds to maximize their clubhead speed for increased distance.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The PWR-COR Technology positions as much weight low and forward using a 14g internal MIM steel weight and a 5g 100% milled, stainless steel external weight (19g total) to lower spin and increase speed. Combined with the 13g of moveable weights, LTDx LS has impressive 32g low and forward.<\/p>\n

The H.O.T. FACE technology creates 15 unique zones to maximise and tune ball speeds across the face, which greatly improves performance on mishits.<\/p>\n

The LTDx\u2019s performance is further improved by the multi-material construction, which utilises a redesigned, eight-gram lighter titanium chassis that allows for up to 30% more carbon fibre and more discretionary weight to reposition low and forward in the PWR-COR weight.<\/p>\n

The LTDx MAX combines maximum stability and maximum draw bias into one driver, both individually achievable using the moveable weight system.<\/p>\n

The MAX features a slightly oversized 460cc profile over the LTDx to provide maximum distance and forgiveness. An adjustable back weight and an added heel weight gives golfers additional draw-bias to help you square the face at impact.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The 10g heavy weight can be positioned in the back to deliver Cobra\u2019s most forgiving and stable driver. Alternatively you can position the heavy weight in the heel for 11 yards of draw bias. The adjustable hosel has a \u2018draw\u2019 setting for an additional seven yards (18 yards total).<\/p>\n

As with the other two LTDx Drivers, the Max features PWR-COR and H.O.T. FACE Technology with multi-material construction.<\/p>\n
